The problem is I have called the Ohio DMV,DNR,title offices. I get a
different answer each time I call them. No one seems to know what to
do,some
told me i cant use my boat here even. Without anyone knowing what to do
i am
afraid to put the boat on the water for fear of getting it taken away if
they pull me over or something.

I live in Georgia but will be in Ohio for 5 months and want to use my
boat
there. Ohio tells me i need an ohio title to get a registration
number,but
i live in georgia,the bill comes for the boat to me in georgia,I have
it
financed through honda finance when i bought it new. Any ideas? The
title
places in ohio have absolutely no idea what i need to do,one told me i
need an ohio title for it,another told me an out of state resident cant
have an ohio title. They are complete morons it seems in this area.
Thanks for any info you ucan provide.


I boat on Lake Erie and live in Ohio.

If the State of Ohio Department of Motor Vehicles cannot help you out
with
a straight answer I would just run with your existing registration.
If
stopped just have the registration paper available and tell them you
are
only here for the week.

We see plenty of boats with out of state registration numbers here on
Lake
Erie. I don't know why the CG or local police would single you out
just
because you showed a GA registration on your boat.

If you want I can call the DMV and Cleveland office of the USCG for you
tomorrow to get a straight answer. Just let me know if you want me to.

Ohio registration is not required if you USE you boat less than 60 days.

If you are ever stopped, I would just tell them that.
